Early, early this morning I stopped at a local Wal-Mart and they had three huge display cases(still covered in cardboard) of the new Clone Wars movie figures. But you couldn't buy them and apparently later they put them back in the stockroom. One box was sort of messed up and I did see that they had the Scuba Trooper, the Obi Wan in clone outfit, a Padme in a snow outfit, etc, etc.

I stashed 5 figures in case they get released soon and the scalpers dissapear with all the good ones.

There were a bunch of Joes there yesterday around 9... not sure if all returns, but in addition to all the Buzzers (yay, Burbank Target's finally like most other Targets that ever keep ANY basic Joes on the pegs!) there was crystal-jar CC, Beachhead, a Cobra Trooper, and a Viper. Maybe one or two others. Naturally, all but the Buzzers had vanished by this morning.

I picked up 2 more Junos yesterday for fodder. One's biding her time on my desk at work, brandishing Darth Bane's saber. There were just two Junos left this morning. Meanwhile, IJ pegs were full of a better assortment than recent weeks, but still dull figures... and for $1.50 more than they were a week or two ago. Grats, Target! You figured out a way to sit on all those Mutts for another few months!

it's probably gone by now, (last nite I couldn't post b/c i was having password problems) but at figrin's favorite Panorama City Walmart they had 4 vehicles in new Legacy/CW packaging, including a Homing spider droid. The box was dinged on the spider though. Good luck if u go up there.

Ha! I like it there so much that I've only set foot there once this year.

Pico Rivera WM had 4 cases of CW Evolutions sets when I walked in less than an hour ago. I placed a case in my cart and headed over to the action figure aisle. Now let me preface the rest of this story by saying I typically view almost every non-child I see in the toy section as a scalper. This is a stereotype, I know, but I'm naturally cynical. So I hear from behind me, "It won't ring up." I look to see who it was and see someone I've never met. He looked somewhat unkempt, hence the scalper assumption. He was insistent, too, and repeated it to me about three times, as if I didn't speak the same language, "None of them will ring up." I suspected he just wanted the case. I noticed that there was an IG Lancer Droid right next to him, so I pointed at it and replied "Is that why you're not buying that one?" He saw it and his eyes grew. "Uh, well they told me someone brought it back," were his words as he picked it up and disappeared.

I put the case away for a rainy day and went about my other WM business. They also had cases of Hulk ML and the GI Joe vehicles.
